This Jako Visser is a con bastard that no person should get involved with at any time. People in doubt are more than welcome to go and do a google search on UKUBA and see what prospective clients and the ones that were conned, have to say. The asshole was even on Carte Blanche already. It is just a great pity I did not know about his conning behaviour before I started doing computer related work for his business. I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but had I known about this con bastard, I would not have gotten involved in the first place.
I started setting up a network for him at his business Ukuba Afrika in Stikland just before Christmas in 2006. I completed quite a lot of work thereafter, supplied PCs etc and recevied payments up to a point (April 2007). Thereafter I received certain payments in between and others not, never thinking that it would actually turn sour as it did. In the end Jako Visser (Ukuba Afrika) owed me more than 10 grand.
After unsuccessful attempts to get him to talk to me and to get my money paid, AFTER HE HAD VERBALLY PROMISED ME PAYMENT, WHICH I DID RECORD AND HAVE AVAIALBLE, I eventually took the matter up with lawyers in September 2007. Shortly thereafter, Ukuba was liquidated and of the more than ten thousand rand he owed my cc, I only received a cheque for ± R165 from the lawyer handling the case, due to the pro rata system , or so the lawyer said. (I must say, lawyers also have absolutely no mercy, they just want their money, come what may; now I can see why people don't want to use lawyers for such or any other cases, AND THESE CON BASTARDS KNOW THAT TOO !!!).
One of his ex-employees came to visit me earlier this year and told me that he was also owed wages by Jako Visser. The ex-employee also mentioned that the con bastard was already doing business AGAIN, in Kuilsriver. I imagine it is probably under another name or another person's name. I am not sure but I will find out and post on this issue later.
One thing I don't understand about the Law in this country, is that they allow a person, even under another name or whatever, to carry on with business after liquidation. This is totally unbelievable !! Why don't they physically BAN these con bastards from having anything to do with any business for a period of time. In that time, if they are caught anywhere in a business, straight to JAIL where they deserve to be !! This will surely teach the con bastards a lesson, not to con any person(s) in future !!! But as it is in this country, it is a con bastard's paradise !!!!

Did you invoice UKUBA CC or did you invoice Jako Visser? It would be wise to issue an invoice (for the balance due to your CC) in the name of Jako Visser and go after the bastard in his own personal capacity. There is no way he can avoid payment if you (re)-invoice him in his personal capacity.
Thank you for the advice. I invoiced Ukuba and as stated, they liquidated. If that can in fact be done (re-issuing an invoice for the outstanding amount to Jako Visser in person), then I will surely do so. I will seek advice on the matter unless you have any prior knowledge of this type of action having actually being carried out and how it is actually done. Input will be appreciated. Thanx.
I can mention that the actual lawyer who handled the matter, said that I could take Jako Visser on personally in court, but that it would cost even more money. As I did mention as well, in my own opinion, the lawyers are there to make money in any which way they can. I would like to know how much this exercise would cost me as I have actually lost a bit already. I still maintain that the reason why not many people use lawyers is because of this exact outcome as in my case. The lawyers get paid either way, so they are not really interested in the outcome. If it was a scenario where they got paid IF THEY WON A CASE, man you would see a different approach altogether.
Jako Visser worked for us at our guest house. He was fired for stealing over 15000 rand (that we knew about). We gave him the benefit of the doubt more than we ever should have. In his time with us other cash disappeared. He abused our phones and cheated every system we ever had. Our staff stopped getting tips and he also diddled someone down the road from us out of a car. NEVER HIRE THIS MAN NEVER TRUST HIM. Since he left we even had the sherriff come looking for him. It was amazing that the sherriff quickly realised he had hunted the same man down 5 years previously. We continue to get letters of demand. This mans tongue is as smooth as silk.
Can anyone please confirm some details about THIS Jako Visser please . I have client by the same name but who swears , he a) he is and has been happily married for some years...verified by wife whom I have met and this blog and information about an events company is causing some problems with his finding a position .because he is in the hospitality Industry too .Can someone confirm an ID number...and surely with a name as common in this country as Jako Visser ..one should mention ID number or something ?
